| Common sense. | ||
| It's all about common sense, right? | ||
| Okay, Will, go ahead. | ||
| Next, sir, this is House Joint Resolution 42. Again, this is a rescission of a Biden-era regulation, in this case relating to energy conservation standards for household appliances and certain consumer products. | ||
| is this yours? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it is. | |
| *sad music* | ||
| That's a good one. | ||
| I know who's over there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know who did this. | |
| Explain that, please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Look, this is helping fight inflation because the burden on appliance manufacturers is going to drive up the cost of them producing household products, which means that when you go buy a washer, dryer, any appliance, it was going to drive up the cost for consumers. | ||
| It reduces consumer choice. | ||
| But in the bottom line, we've been trying to fight inflation. | ||
| This fights inflation. | ||
| This helps, takes the cost out of producing these products that Americans need every day. | ||
| And when you think, when you add all this up, it's one regulation here, one regulation there. | ||
| They always say it's de minimis, but when you add it all up, it costs a lot to American consumers, and this is fighting back. | ||
| And it's not as good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it's not as good. | |
| Not nearly as good, not nearly as efficient, and more costly. | ||
| Other than that, it's wonderful. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Great job. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Okay. | ||
| And lastly, sir, we have House Joint Resolution 75. Again, this is a rescission of a Biden-era regulation, in this case relating to energy standards for commercial refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator freezers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you have the sink one in here, the sinks and shower heads? | |
| We have an executive order on that coming for you later, sir. | ||
| That's coming when? | ||
| Later this afternoon. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good. | |
| You're going to be around later this afternoon? | ||
| Good. | ||
| Sinks and shower heads where you buy a home and you have a new shower head and you don't get any water. | ||
| The water doesn't come out of the sink. | ||
| The water comes out of nowhere. | ||
| What a shame. | ||
| What a ridiculous waste. | ||
| Okay, let me do this. | ||
| Come here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who's responsible for this work? | |
| This is mine, Mr. President. | ||
| Oh, good man here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, sir. | |
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| You want to discuss that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, sir. | |
| This was a government regulation that we have now repealed. | ||
| Thank you very much, Mr. President. | ||
| That now saves the American taxpayers. | ||
| I say the Texas taxpayer, them too. | ||
| But the American taxpayer. | ||
| Because who would have ultimately paid the price on a government mandate and a government regulation? | ||
| The people of America. | ||
| So you just say that. | ||
| American taxpayer money, so thank you very much. | ||
| That's fantastic. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| It's a great job. | ||
| Okay, any questions? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The airline said today that a 10% baseline tariff on all countries is here to stay, even after the deals are done. | |
| Does that mean that countries offering zero tariffs won't get reciprocity? | ||
| You are going to always have a baseline. | ||
| I mean, there could be an exception at some point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll see. | |
| Somebody does something exceptional for us. | ||
| That's always possible. | ||
| But basically, you have a baseline. | ||
| Of a minimum of 10%, and some of them will be much higher, 40%, 50%, 60%, as they've been doing to us over the years. | ||
| We had a wonderful deal yesterday. | ||
| We have four or five other deals coming immediately. | ||
| We have many deals coming down the line, and ultimately we're just signing the rest of them in. | ||
| But we always have a baseline of 10%. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then, specifically on the possibility of an increase in taxes on wealthier Americans, what do you say to conservative Republicans who argue that this is an increase on small business owners? | |
| Well, what we're doing is we're actually, if we ever did that, it would only be, and from what I hear, people would love to do it, rich people. | ||
| I would love to do it, frankly. | ||
| But what we'll do is, you know, they'll go around saying, oh, this is so terrible. | ||
| Would you do it? | ||
| Is you're giving up something up top in order to make people in the middle income and the lower income brackets save more. | ||
| So it's really a redistribution. | ||
| And I'm willing to do it if they want. | ||
| I would love to be able to give people in a lower bracket a big break by giving up some of what I have. | ||
| But I'll tell you, a lot of people say don't do it because of the fact that you have the Bush statement. | ||
| About read my lips, but he lost because of Ross Perot. | ||
| He didn't lose because of that statement. | ||
| But I don't think they're going to be doing it, but I actually think it's good politics to do it, where richer people give up, and it's a very small, it's like a point, but they give it up to benefit people in a lower income. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then on the salt tax credits, Mr. President, there are some Republicans who say, why is it that these 45 other states... | |
| Should be paying taxes to alleviate the tax burden of New York? | ||
| It's only because those states are behind, very badly behind, and those people were affected very badly. | ||
| And, you know, the sad part is oftentimes they were affected badly because you had bad management in those states, like in California with Newsom and, you know, people. | ||
| So you had some bad management. | ||
| But that's being worked on now, and they may do a piece one way or the other. | ||
| It's a very complex issue, but I think it's being worked out. | ||
| It has not been settled yet, but they'll settle it up pretty quickly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What parameters have you given Scott Besson on negotiating with China this weekend? | |
| We have to make a great deal for America. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you going to be disappointed if he comes back without a deal? | |
| No, not at all. | ||
| We already made a great deal. | ||
| We're not doing business with China right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We lost one trillion dollars last year with China. | |
| One trillion. | ||
| So if you're not going to do business with them, you're not going to lose one trillion dollars. | ||
| But we lost. | ||
| I just want China to do great. | ||
| I'm very friendly with President Xi. | ||
| I have great respect for him and for China. | ||
| But we can't continue to allow them to do what they did. | ||
| When I was president, they paid hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs and taxes. | ||
| And then Biden screwed it all up. | ||
| What he did to this country between the border and between all of the other problems, the wars, everything, what he did to this country should never be forgotten. | ||
| But one of the things he did is the trade was so bad and so imbalanced. | ||
| So I think we're going to come back with a fair deal for both China and us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Have you given Besant a number of how low you're willing to go? | |
| Yeah, I am. | ||
| What's the number? | ||
| 80%? | ||
| But I put out a number today, 80%, so we'll see how that all works. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. President, the US Embassy in Kyiv is warning right now about possible Russian significant attack on Kyiv. | |
| What's your message for Putin? | ||
| I have a message for both parties. | ||
| Get this war ended. | ||
| We're losing five... | ||
| 1,000 soldiers a week. | ||
| Russian and Ukrainian soldiers. | ||
| And other people also, by the way. | ||
| And I say, get this stupid war finished. | ||
| That's my message for both of them. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you guys. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Right off through there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| You're in the war room. | ||
| It is Friday, May 9th in the year of our Lord, 2025. | ||
| Natalie Winters here, hosting the show. | ||
| If we have Mike Howell, I'd love to go to him. | ||
| Do we have him up? | ||
| We don't have Mike Howell up. | ||
| Then let's roll the cold open that I have for you guys. | ||
| Democrats, or catch this, raiding ICE facilities up in New Jersey. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's get a taste of that. | |
| This is peaceful! | ||
| You are fascist! | ||
| This is people! | ||
|
unidentified
|
You are fascist! | |
| This is people! | ||
| Get off of her! | ||
| I'm sorry! | ||
| I'm sorry! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Don't touch her! | |
| You are fascist! | ||
| You're gonna put your hands on me? | ||
| You're okay! | ||
| If it's for press, you know that's for me! | ||
| You're not a woman like that! | ||
| Oh my God! | ||
| Oh my God! | ||
| There's a whole lot of fascist calls. | ||
| I don't know if you could make it out there. | ||
| The mayor... | ||
| Of a city in New Jersey, New Jersey's largest city, a Democrat who's running for governor, I guess that's how you get ahead in Democratic primaries nowadays, has actually been arrested. | ||
| But let's not bury the lead. | ||
| Three Democratic members of Congress were also there attempting to raid, break into, and breach one of New Jersey's ICE facilities, sort of, I think, one of the key nodes in what is President Trump's mass deportation agenda. | ||
| I see Mike Howell on screen if we can toss to him. | ||
| Don't worry, we're going to get back to the immigration stuff. | ||
| We have a bunch of people joining us with some exclusive reporting. | ||
| But Mike, there is an absolutely insane story. | ||
| I've been seeing it all over Revolver News. | ||
| I know the Daily Mail, some outlets are starting to cover it. | ||
| It goes to what I think this audience knows you best for, which is the weaponization of government having to do with, I won't get over my skis, but fake journals, a Netflix documentary, just astroturfed evidence trying to bring down a company that's probably not... | ||
| in the interests of Big Pharma, that's certainly maybe a little more Maha in their orientation. | ||
| Can you walk the audience through? | ||
| I'll put the article up on screen. | ||
| But this scandal, and I use that word in its full intent and purpose... | ||
| Yeah, so the fact pattern here is absolutely wild, and everyone's going to be hearing a lot about this case as it moves through trial over the coming weeks, and maybe longer. | ||
| But what I really want to focus the audience on are the tactics of weaponization, both on the part of the FBI. | ||
| And then also the legal theories proffered. | ||
| Because when you look at that, you see a lot of the same ways they went after President Trump and others. | ||
| And I think it's rather unfortunate that this whole thing is moving forward as we're looking for a kind of change in the direction of DOJ and FBI. | ||
| You know, those large institutions. | ||
| Are very hard to kind of, you know, remiss to overturn themselves and reverse course. | ||
| And so when you see that kind of inertia, that new political control can kind of change the path of these things when they invest so much time and energy, I think it colors a lot of the other cases and investigations that we're looking for accountability for. | ||
| And this has it all. | ||
| It has the FBI working with Netflix to fabricate evidence. | ||
| And that's just so out of bounds, particularly when you look at Netflix as a real champion of partisan causes and kind of their ways of just directing loads and loads of money to their favored people. | ||
| And when you look at the FBI over its long history, they've had such a... | ||
| A close relationship with Hollywood, going back to the Hoover days. | ||
| But now in the modern era, when you see them working with Netflix to shape public opinion, and then even in the Trump administration, the fruits of that investigation coming to court, you have to wonder when we're actually going to start turning this thing around. | ||
| Mike, I want to drill down on the idea of collusion with Netflix. | ||
| I think when I hear that, it draws me back to the collusion with social media platforms, obviously Legacy Media, the Washington Post, or as they call it, what, the Langley Bugle. | ||
| But the details in terms of, I think there were some facts about when journals were written. | ||
| This essentially was just, I mean, fabricated out of more or less thin air, or at least very thin air. | ||
| Can you walk through what that, or at least what you think that that sort of collusion angle looked like and why, frankly, anyone watching this show should be scared that you could not just have the FBI weaponized against you, but in conjunction with Right. | ||
| So the biggest piece of evidence that was in this case and the basis of a Netflix documentary were journals that essentially were post-dated and then used to pretend like they were written at the time. | ||
| Of, you know, the controversy. | ||
| And Netflix and the FBI were working together at that point in time. | ||
| And so that should basically set off alarm bells everywhere. | ||
| But nonetheless, the Department of Justice is proceeding, even though that key element is no longer on the table and trying to basically power through it. | ||
| You had a prosecutor who was involved in this case drop off just a few weeks ago. | ||
| And the thing stinks. | ||
| And what I'm smelling the most... | ||
| Is that you just have a Department of Justice that doesn't like dropping cases, that institutionally doesn't want to admit it was wrong, and is continuing ahead anyways when the biggest part of the whole thing was proven not only to be bunk, but potentially even criminal, if not civilly, certainly liable as it relates to Netflix coordinating with the FBI. | ||
| And so when we look at other kind of weaponized cases, if they can't stop this one with such clear misconduct and abuse, What does that mean for turning around these agencies in the future? | ||
| And you have the FBI still standing by this. | ||
| They sent 20 agents to the court case. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mike, I want to stop you there because I think that's another very interesting detail. | |
| And we've got to jump to break, but I'll hold you through that. | ||
| And I think that the fact that they're still pursuing this case, it speaks to whether you want to call it the deep state, the in-your-face state. | ||
| But the idea that DOJ should be something that is uniquely controlled, administered by President Trump, not pursuing the politically motivated charges of, you know, the Biden DOJ or these unelected bureaucrats. | ||
| Hang with us through the break mic and warm posse. | ||
| In the meantime, you've got to make sure you're checking out birchgold.com slash Bannon or texting Bannon to 98989. | ||
| If Democrats are willing to raid ICE facilities while they're on camera and go to jail, you think they care about your financial future? | ||
| Your fiscal light future? | ||
| You think they care? | ||
| I don't think they do. | ||
| It's why gold has always been a hedge. | ||
| It probably will continue to be. | ||
| It's birchgold.com slash Bannon. | ||
| Mike Howell, some bombshell stories about DEI at UCLA, or should I say the failed medical school? | ||
| It's an actual quote at UCLA. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | |
| Welcome back to the War Room, where you're probably outraged that it's this kind of activity your tax dollars are funding over at the FBI. | ||
| Nevertheless, if you need some help, make sure you're checking out Tax Network USA. | ||
| That's TNUSA.com slash Bannon, or you can give a call to 1-800-958-1000 for a free consultation. | ||
| Mike Howell, I'm glad you're still with us. | ||
| I think the audience is enraged by what the FBI has been doing for, no, it seems like a very, very long time. | ||
| I want to get in, though, to one very weird detail about this case. | ||
| You're telling me that dozens of FBI agents were, you know, posted up around the ongoing trial. | ||
| I don't necessarily think that's a normal thing to do. | ||
| It sounds quite anomalous to me. | ||
| Can you walk the audience through that detail, too? | ||
| Yeah, the reports I saw said 20 FBI agents showed up for a day of the trial. | ||
| I don't know if there are that many there every single day, but that tells you all you need to know. | ||
| It's an absolute show of force. | ||
| It's meant to show kind of a unified front. | ||
| I'm sure they had some invented reason for each of them to be there or not. | ||
| But we all know the courtroom kind of presentation style and drama that goes into these things. | ||
| And keep in mind, this is a nonviolent case. | ||
| We have an FBI that I was told was getting, you know, reorienting to fighting crime and getting the bad guys and gangbangers off the street. | ||
| And you have 20 FBI agents for a case that hinges on one charge of a never really used before forced label theory. | ||
| And so it's just bizarre to me. | ||
| It shows it looks like a double down. | ||
| It just looks like the government says we put this much work into the case regardless of all the misconduct that is there. | ||
| We're not dropping it because it makes the government look bad to drop a case. | ||
| So we're going to throw all that we have on it. | ||
| And if we don't have good evidence to go off of, then we're just going to do the show of the force. | ||
| It's the old saying of law. | ||
| You have the facts. | ||
| Pound the facts. | ||
| If you don't have those, if you've got a table, then just pound the table. | ||
| So it's them pounding the table and trying to create the impression that the government stands by all this misconduct. | ||
| Well, I can think of a litany of other cases or issues that the DOJ should be allocating their resources to, certainly the FBI, the internal struggle sessions that are needed aside, or maybe just fire these people. | ||
| I think they're superfluous in their origins to begin with, but I don't know, like we always say in the war, maybe give us some names of the people who orchestrated the invasion at the southern border, people who were responsible for the really whole-of-society, whole-of-government approach to government weaponization. | ||
| Going after things like this. | ||
| Last question before we let you go. | ||
| What should the, I think, warning that our audience should discern or glean from this case be? | ||
| In other words, that the FBI can essentially call up some Hollywood studio, have them make a more or less astroturf documentary about you, and somehow you see yourself on the stand on trial and a bunch of FBI agents are going to be swarming around? | ||
| Is that too reductive or is that what we're talking about? | ||
| No, that's exactly what we're talking about. | ||
| I mean, it used to work for the FBI back in, like, the 50s and 60s, putting out the G-men and trying to up public perceptions of them. | ||
| But when you have a weaponized FBI that's been populated by kind of ideologues... | ||
| And in 2025, they're working with Netflix, basically as an outgrowth of the Me Too movement, wanting to get some big case that looks like something related to Me Too. | ||
| And they're just working with the furthest left and people with an ideological passion. | ||
| The FBI should never be working with the Netflix unless they're investigating Netflix. | ||
| And you just see the marriage of the really broken down FBI and corporate elites here. | ||
| And it's just a crazy fact pattern. | ||
| But if we can't stop... | ||
| These back patterns against young people who aren't traditionally viewed as conservatives, how do we think that we're going to stop the FBI from doing this against everyday Americans and other political opponents? | ||
| And so if we're going to stand against weaponization, we need to stand against weaponization of these institutions against everyone, regardless of the underlying behavior. | ||
| And it worries me. | ||
| If they can't, political control can't put a stop to this sort of misconduct because they don't want to back away from the trial. | ||
| What's that mean going forward for accountability and reform? | ||
| And I don't think it's good. | ||
| Very valid points. | ||
| Mike Howell, if people want to follow you, keep up to date with everything you're working on, where can they go to do that? | ||
| Yep, so I'm at mhowelltweetsonx, and there we link to all of our other profiles. | ||
| We have a good time on X. Get an info and doc straight to the people, right in their veins. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| We'll have you back on soon. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Honored to be joined now by Aaron Sibarium, someone who has been posted up at the Free Beacon all over the racial discrimination that has been going on at UCLA, particularly their medical school. | ||
| One of the quotes that jumped out at me from your most recent piece, calling it a, quote, failed. | ||
| Medical school. | ||
| My dad actually did undergrad there and knows that medical school very well, so I'm sure he'd be very disheartened to hear that. | ||
| But when you look at the numbers, I guess another figure that jumped out, 50% or so of the new people who are sort of, I would assume DEI, affirmative action, take your pick, who are there, are failing basic medical competency tests. | ||
| I know a lot of your reporting has led to now a Trump administration probe and lawsuits, but can you sort of walk the audience through what your team, what you've uncovered that's been going? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Thank you for having me. | ||
| There's really sort of, I would say, two or three pieces of kind of convergent evidence that the school is discriminating based on race and admissions. | ||
| The first is the graphic you just showed and kind of the data it, it represents. | ||
| You see that around the same time that the, uh, Medical school got a new dean of admissions and allegedly started doing all this affirmative action. | ||
| There is a marked increase in the number of students failing these standardized tests known as shelf exams. | ||
| These are supposed to be very basic exams. | ||
| You only fail them if you score in the bottom 5% of all test takers nationally. | ||
| So it's not really easy to fail these exams. | ||
| And yet at UCLA, you saw... | ||
| From like 2020 to 2023, a huge increase in the number of students failing these tests. | ||
| And in certain cohorts of people on their clinical rotations, you would occasionally see failure rates as high as 50%, which was not happening prior to 2020. | ||
| Now, of course, the other kind of important piece of evidence here is that we have firsthand accounts of... | ||
| Professors at UCLA, including current and former admissions officers, who described a pattern of racially charged comments by... | ||
| The Dean of Admissions, Jennifer Lucero, and describe how she would effectively shut down criticism of minority candidates with subpar grades and MCATs and would sort of push through people perceived to be disadvantaged some way, usually based on their race, despite the fact that they really... | ||
| Did not have the academic qualifications that you would expect most students matriculating at UCLA Medical School to have. | ||
| And then there's sort of a third piece of evidence that was just, I think, uncovered in this lawsuit. | ||
| And that is that when you look at the share of... | ||
| Matriculants of a given race, so you compare the percentage of matriculants to their share of the applicant pool, you see that, for example, in 2023, about 7% to 8% of UCLA medical school's applicants were Black, but 14% to 15% of... | ||
| UCLA's incoming class was black, right? | ||
| So almost double the share of the applicant pool. | ||
| And given just what we know, kind of background knowledge about the racial breakdown of grades and especially MCATs by different racial groups, it's just really surprising. | ||
| And extraordinary to argue that you could get that kind of breakdown without some kind of racial preferences. | ||
| And then I guess sort of the final piece of evidence I'll give you is that after this new dean of admissions took over, you saw the share, and this is publicly available data, you saw that the share of Asian matriculants at UCLA plummeted. | ||
| It reduces by about a third in three years, and that really is a pretty astonishing drop, and it's not a drop that you see at just about any other UC medical. | ||
| So there's kind of all of these, there's like at least four different pieces of conversion evidence that point to UCLA discriminating based on race. | ||
| And now there's this lawsuit that will likely uncover even more data and even more whistleblower accounts. | ||
| And so pretty soon, I think we'll have an even better picture of exactly how and to what extent these preferences were used. | ||
| I think they call that a bring in the receipts. | ||
| But like you said, that's all, you know, mainly open source, public source data. | ||
| Can you walk the audience through what maybe like the expected timeline of this lawsuit is or how the Trump administration probe fits into that or just what you think they will potentially find or the outcome of it could be? | ||
| Yes, I don't really know what the timeline on the lawsuit will be. | ||
| I imagine UCLA will file a motion to dismiss, and I imagine that will get rejected because I think there is a fair amount of evidence here, although you never know. | ||
| And California courts are obviously quite liberal. | ||
| The Trump administration's investigation, which was launched a little over a month ago, that one, UCLA has said they're complying with it, although... | ||
| One expects that they will do everything in their power to spin the findings and spin the data in ways favorable to UCLA. | ||
| But I think one thing that's important to note is that after the administration announced this probe and UCLA said, oh yeah, we'll cooperate with the administration, you'd sort of think that... | ||
| They would stop putting things in writing that could be used against them in litigation. | ||
| Well, actually, that's not what they did. | ||
| What they did was they sent out a memo to all second and third year medical students saying that they were going to use racial preferences when constructing the admissions committee itself. | ||
| So when they assign students to be on the committee, there's usually about, like, five student representatives on the admissions committee. | ||
| They explicitly said that one of their guiding principles was that they had to ensure, like, adequate representation of, quote, BIPOC and LGBT students, right? | ||
| So they put this in writing. | ||
|

|
I'm going to hold you there because we have to jump to break. | |
| But if you can hold through. | ||
| We'll pause you there. | ||
| I'm sure the audience, they're... | ||
| Super outraged, as am I. I mean, obviously DEI affirmative action is bad, but especially when it comes, not just to the hard scientists, but to the person who's going to be the doctor sitting across from you in the room. | ||
| I don't want that person to be, what, failing 50% of the time on basic medical competency testing while they're doing rounds. | ||
| No thank you. | ||
| We'll be joined again by Aaron after this break, Brianna Morello. | ||
| A heck of a lot more. | ||
|

|
I'll be right back. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance. | ||
| Welcome back to The War Room where you gotta be checking out birchgold.com slash Bannon or texting Bannon to 989898. | ||
| Getting the latest installment, The End of the Dollar Empire. | ||
| You gotta print out the book, give Philip Patrick a call, talk to the team. | ||
| They love talking to you, the best audience. | ||
| I'm not biased. | ||
| Erin, I think you're still with us. | ||
| I got a few more questions for you. | ||
| It's, I think, an interesting parallel. | ||
| It's almost I think these universities are sort of a microcosm of what we've seen happen at the federal level, where you sort of have these unelected bureaucrats, which I would sort of compare to the administration. | ||
| They're not the professors. | ||
| They're not the people who are necessarily qualified to be teaching medicine or anything remotely resembling that field. | ||
| But they're able to really, I mean, circumvent, if not just recreate, invert what these institutions have become from the choke point, right, that is admitting students. | ||
| I'm just curious more broadly from your reporting, whether it's here at Harvard or at a lot of these schools that are obvious now in the cross. | ||
| And I would say that... | ||
| Or what's the typical way that these radical policies get rolled out from your reporting? | ||
| Yeah, so that's definitely one route by which it happens. | ||
| And I would say that Generally, the administrators are a larger and more important driver of the DEI stuff than the faculty. | ||
| Now, I would caveat that it seems to vary quite a bit by school because... | ||
| The faculty, well, at all of the schools, I think the faculty are very against the Trump administration's efforts to, you know, use federal funding to kind of pressure schools into making concessions. | ||
| They're all against that. | ||
| And in particular, at places like Colombia that have these kind of institutionalized bastions of Middle Eastern studies or certain other kinds of scholar activist programs, | ||
| You know, as far as the DEI stuff goes in general, though, I would say that especially the kind of race discrimination, it tends to happen in Bureaucracies, it tends to happen in kind of big places where there's an incentive to focus on legible metrics, right? | ||
| Bean counting is just very easy for bureaucracies to do, right? | ||
| That's something they're good at. | ||
| That's something they can measure. | ||
| And I think in some ways, just because it's kind of convenient, frankly. | ||
| A lot of these bureaucracies end up defining diversity in very kind of outcome-oriented racialist terms because that's just kind of easy to administer. | ||
| That's kind of my theory of the case. | ||
| Aaron, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
| And really, the reporting that you've done, I think, has laid the groundwork for a lot of this, whether it's the probes, the lawsuits. | ||
| I think everyone who ever has to see a doctor should be saying thank you, because I don't know about you. | ||
| I want my doctors to be competent and not trained, and I don't know what the heck they're training them. | ||
| They're DEI, CRT, whatever. | ||
| Aaron, if people want to follow you, stay up to date with everything that you're working on and writing, where can they go to do that? | ||
| I'm on Twitter at... | ||
| Aaron Sibarium, or you could check out just my author page at thefreebeacon.com. | ||
| Thank you so much for joining us. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I believe we have Brianna Morello up. | ||
| All right, then we're going to go to Tej Gill, the one and only. | ||
| Tej, we're going to get into the coffee stuff. | ||
| But before that, there seems to be every day more and more breaking news about what's going on between India and Pakistan. | ||
| India, I think, giving a new trade deal or something to President Trump today. | ||
| It seems like some of the jets that Pakistan has been using to attack India are Chinese-made. | ||
| They have links to the Chinese Communist Party, obviously, very deeply in that country. | ||
| Given your background, what's your sort of assessment as to what's going on in that region? | ||
| Yeah, these conflicts between India and Pakistan have been going on for a while now. | ||
| The border, over the decades, the border moves back and forth between India and Pakistan. | ||
| Pakistan's a hotbed for terrorists. | ||
| Some of the 9-11 terrorists were in Pakistan. | ||
| We've actually done cross-border missions and got some of these guys. | ||
| The CIA works over there all the time. | ||
| Pakistan is very similar to Iran. | ||
| They harbor terrorists, and terrorists use that as a launching point. | ||
| They use it during the Afghanistan War. | ||
| The eastern border of Afghanistan was always a hot area. | ||
| There was constantly terrorists coming back and forth in and out of Pakistan. | ||
| Osama bin Laden, he ended up hiding in there. | ||
| That's where they got him. | ||
| So basically, this highlights the reason why. | ||
| Trump doesn't want Iran to have nuclear weapons, because right now, what if India and Iran, if the heat keeps turning up on this conflict between India and Iran, and they start using nuclear weapons, then it definitely could be the start of World War III. | ||
| It'll be devastating to the planet. | ||
| So this is exactly why Trump doesn't want Iran to have nuclear weapons, because Iran is a terrorist state. | ||
| Pakistan is a... | ||
| Semi-terrorist state. | ||
| You know, we have an embassy there. | ||
| We have relations with them. | ||
| But they have nukes. | ||
| India has nukes. | ||
| And they hate each other over religious reasons. | ||
| And they're basically in a constant state of almost conflict. | ||
| And now it's developed into conflict. | ||
| I saw, I think two days ago, there was a huge aerial dogfight. | ||
| 125 aircraft between Pakistan. | ||
| In India, we're going at it in the air, which is crazy. | ||
| There hasn't been a dogfight like that since World War II. | ||
| So it's bad, and it's on the edge of getting really bad if they use nuclear weapons. | ||
| If this thing keeps escalating, it's going to get nasty. | ||
| And I look at it as this is the reason Trump does not want Iran to have nuclear weapons, because, look, Iran... | ||
| They're always going at it with their neighbors. | ||
| In the 80s, we had Iran and Iraq, and now it's constantly Iran and Israel. | ||
| Iran has all its proxy states. | ||
| Yemen, the Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah, Hamas, all this stuff. | ||
| All this stuff is intertwined. | ||
| I think it's because poor or zero leadership on the global level. | ||
| The United States, we're the leaders of the free world. | ||
| I think we've had bad leadership for the last while, right? | ||
| Like, almost two decades. | ||
| You know, Trump had a small run in there in 2016 to 2020, but the world is basically on the edge of World War III in a really bad way. | ||
| You know, you have Iran and Russia and Europe going on. | ||
| You have the Israel, the Houthis, and Iran. | ||
| And now, this India thing, it's crazy. | ||
| It's definitely something to watch because it could escalate into World War III and they're both nuclear-armed countries. | ||
| Something to watch, and I think something to watch while you drink, probably your Warpath coffee. | ||
| I'm looking, I don't see any bags around me to hold up. | ||
| I usually love having a proper two when I host War Room, but I'm sure you can probably help me out there. | ||
| Before we let you go, hit us with the latest on all things coffee. | ||
| I'm sure that's the real reason the audience wants to have you on. | ||
| They love Warpath. | ||

| War Room Posse. | ||

| We roast it on a perforated drum and it is the best coffee out there. | ||
| I told Steve this before. | ||
| I was over in Kuwait in Ramadan. | ||
| It's probably like 20 years ago now and I drank. | ||
| Some Arabic coffee over there. | ||
| And it was the best coffee I've ever had. | ||
| And it was so smooth. | ||
| Because up until then, all the coffee I've drank, you know, you got to dump milk and sugar in there to chug it down because it's nasty because it's so burnt. | ||
| It's acidic and bitter. | ||
| And this coffee I tasted in Kuwait was so good. | ||
| And so that's the coffee I was trying to recreate when I created Warpath Coffee. | ||
| I wanted a really good, smooth, high-end coffee. | ||

| I know the War Room Posse loves Warpath. | ||
| Whenever I meet you guys, they always say, I love my cup of Warpath coffee. | ||
| I always watch War Room, too, and it's a nice tradition. | ||
| Thank you, sir, for joining us. | ||
| Thank you, Natalie. | ||
| We'll definitely have you back on soon. | ||
| Have a great day. | ||
| I think we got Brianna Morella. | ||
| Brianna, I'm definitely going to hold you through the break, but just give me a few minutes. | ||
| You have yet another bombshell story about the Biden regime and unaccompanied migrant children, them essentially abandoning them, doing nothing. | ||
| Another staggering figure. | ||
| 65,000 reports. | ||
| Walk the audience through at least the beginning of this exclusive you got for us. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Thank you, Natalie, for jumping on with me as well today, because this is a good one. | ||
| This one is all about how the Biden regime intentionally ignored children who were trying to call OOR. | ||
| That is the refugee program that they have. | ||
| And they were just trying to report the fact that they were either being given stale food or there were some issues that they were having. | ||
| But ultimately, this one's crazy because I was told yesterday on my program that one of those calls that came in, the reports came in, came in from a young boy who was trying to say that his sponsor was putting him in a really bad position. | ||
| And what I mean by that is, and this is going to be a little dark for those of you at home right now, but this young boy was trying to report the fact that he was being molested by adults. | ||
| And when he called to make this report, sadly, the Biden administration completely ignored him. | ||
| Now, the Trump administration has been sifting through these reports, and they heard his complaints. | ||
| They reached out, rescued this boy, according to my source, and saved him from that situation. | ||
| But the reality of it is, is, you know, this is just one of many stories that we continue to talk about, Natalie, obviously. | ||
| The Biden administration intentionally put these kids in danger. | ||
| By putting them around sexual predators. | ||
| It's absolutely astonishing. | ||
| What is the magnitude, you think? | ||
| How many cases are there like this? | ||
| Yeah, well, they just started sifting through a lot of this, so they know there's about 65,000 reports altogether. | ||
| We don't know how large this is going to be, but this could be massive, and we're just going to have to wait and see. | ||
| I know last time when I came on your program and we discussed my last breaking story on this, I also was told about the sponsors and the vetting process. | ||
| I know we talked about that briefly, but I was also informed that DHS wasn't even properly vetting these individuals' face-to-face interactions. | ||
| Instead, They thought it was acceptable to take photograph images through the WhatsApp app, and that's how they were vetting these sponsors before handing them off to them, these children I'm referring to, by the way. | ||
| So it's a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot that the Trump administration is going to have to go through with all of this. | ||
| Unfortunately, though, I have a really bad feeling that there's going to be thousands of sexual assault cases that the Biden administration ignored. | ||
| Brianna, hang with us through the break. | ||
| I want to keep drilling down on this. | ||
| I also think who exactly these sponsors are, if this was just a symptom that the invasion was so, you know, massive in scale that there's no way you could have done it, or maybe it was all intentional and by design. | ||
| My money's probably on that, knowing the characters that were involved with the orchestration of it. | ||
| Hang with us through the break, and warm posse. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Van. | |
| Welcome back to The War Room, where we will not forget what the Biden regime did on the southern border. | ||
| It is the gift that keeps on giving. | ||
| Obviously, nothing close to a gift. | ||
| It was essentially the... | ||
| Destruction of the country, completely intentional, planned, very well executed. | ||
| I'm still waiting to see some indictments for those people in addition to the illegals that were transported here. | ||
| But Brian Morello, you're still with us. | ||
| If you want to pick up where you left off, but also I want to just weave in another one of your reports having to do with some, I think, documents that have sort of come out via discovery with a lawsuit against the TSA. | ||
| How the Biden regime was just, I mean, haphazardly releasing sex offenders into the United States before they were on trial or had been arrested. | ||
| Am I reading that wrong? | ||
| Walk us through that. | ||
| When I got the papers from my lawyer, I thought it was crazy. | ||
| When I got the papers from DHS, I thought it was even crazier because I didn't understand what was going on here. | ||
| Ultimately, what was happening is some background. | ||
| I am suing TSA actively for allowing illegal aliens to fly on commercial airlines. | ||
| All I wanted to know was what type of identifications they were approving and allowing them to board these flights with since they didn't have photo IDs. | ||
| As a result of that, I've gotten... | ||
| I was looking for memos, internal communications between TSA and DHS detailing what they were looking for. | ||
| Fortunately, though, the Trump administration, as soon as they stepped in and took over, they started forwarding my attorney and myself these documents, and now we have them. | ||
| So what I was able to stumble upon is absolutely gut-wrenching. | ||
| The Biden regime knowingly allowed illegal aliens who had prior convictions of And what it's ultimately asking is for them to do two things. | ||
| Number one... | ||
| They have to enroll in a sexual deviance course. | ||
| It's a program. | ||
| They have 14 days after being released to enroll and to send DHS proof of enrollment. | ||
| They also have seven days to register as a sex offender after they're released and let into our country. | ||
| So those were the two requirements for those who have prior sexual assault convictions before being released into our country. | ||
| It just, again, is another layer of chaos that the Biden administration was intentionally inflicting on the American people. | ||
| And it's gut wrenching. | ||
| I mean, we talked about it all the time. | ||
| We knew exactly what they were doing to us. | ||
| We just didn't know how well orchestrated it was. | ||
| The Biden administration released rapists into our country, and they didn't care about the American people. | ||
| They did it without any care at all. | ||
| And that's the most gut-wrenching part in all of this. | ||
| Now, of course, I'm still suing TSA in regards to all of it. | ||
| They're still looking for any more documents. | ||
| But keep in mind, this full- This form that just literally said you have to take these two programs, where you take this program and register as a sex offender, that was used for them to board commercial airlines. | ||
| That was proof of identification. | ||
| That's what TSA was accepting at the time. | ||
| I mean, it's completely mind-blowing that this happened in the first place. | ||
| But they allowed it to happen. | ||
| There needs to be people held accountable. | ||
| You know, we still haven't heard of anyone being dragged in front of any congressional committees yet from the Biden administration to answer these tough questions. | ||
| And that would be the beginning phase of all of this. | ||
| Now, I'm not going to hold my breath. | ||
| I don't know if anyone's really going to be criminally charged in all of it. | ||
| They should be, yes. | ||
| They should be sued to oblivion. | ||
| But unfortunately, it doesn't look like we're getting anywhere because I haven't even heard whispers of investigations being launched to all of these people. | ||
| I'm so glad Senator Tillis found it within him to have enough courage to oppose Ed Martin. | ||
| I'm sure his constituents would love to see him muster that same, shall we say, fighting resolve to go after the Biden apparatchiks that orchestrated the death of this country through the weapon of mass migration. | ||
| But like you, Brianna, I will not hold my breath on that one either. | ||
| Maybe the best we can hope for is a primary. | ||
| Brianna, in the meantime, before we have you back on, if people want to follow you, where can they go to do that? | ||
| Head on over to the Independent Newsroom. | ||
| It's a free newsletter you can sign up for and you can also find me on X, Brianna Morello. | ||
| Thank you so much for coming on. | ||
| Thank you, Natalie. | ||
| I would just add, Democrats are willing to what? | ||
| Storm? | ||
| Hole up? | ||
| Essentially breach ice facilities in New Jersey? | ||
| Republicans, what have they done? | ||
| To push back, I mean, certainly under the four years of Joe Biden, against the illegal alien invasion. | ||
| A lot of strongly worded letters I saw, a lot of nice tweets about how important it is to have sovereignty and strong borders. | ||
| Democrats are willing to raid ICE facilities and be arrested. | ||
| And Senator Tillis doesn't like that maybe Ed Martin was a little too radical on a few hundred Jan Sixers. | ||
| I would want someone who has that fighting spirit to be responsible for going after all the prosecutions that need to happen in the city of Washington, D.C. But I guess Senator Tillis had other ideas. | ||
| Well, maybe the American people and specifically those in North Carolina will have other ideas for you when you get primaried. | ||
| Speaking of people who I think have other ideas, other ideas in the form of the best pillow that has ever existed, that is, of course, the MyPillow. | ||
| Mike Lindell joins us now. | ||
